The post states, “I went out to the EastEnd with some friends to do some casual wine touring, but I also wanted to meet with a few winemakers and ask them about this. Why do Long Island wines get a bad rap, still? What can be done about it?”

Much of the post explores the question of, “Why does LongIslandwine have a bad reputation?”

Many winemakers say that the post is biased, and have spoken out, including RomanRoth from Wolffer EstateVineyards, who commented on the site, saying, “I would like to address those whose comments express a malicious and very passe prejudice against LongIsland wines. I have been a winemaker since 1982, working in Germany, California and Australia. I came to LongIsland in 1992 and have been fortunate and proud to participate in the amazing growth of our region over 20 years.
